While I feel bad for the parents. She and other IDIOTS like her have created this “FAKE OPIOID CRISIS”. That is impacting Intractable Pain Patients who have no cures for their diseases, wounds, damage from car wrecks, that can’t be repaired and leave you in level 10 pain. 24 of our Veterans are committing Suicide daily because the Feds cut off their pain meds.

I’m the parent of a MURDERED CHILD, ambushed and beat to death so some Sociopath could have his jollies to see what it felt like to KILL. He plea bargained a M1 down to a M2. served 12.5 of a 20 yr plea bargained sentence only because I fought the parole board and made him max out his ‘good’ behavior time off.

Jan 1 new STATE OPIOID laws go into effect along with the Fed ones. Won’t stop the government IMPORTED ILLEGAL DRUGS from pouring across our open border, or through the US Mail from China.

I have a under educated APN, not a Doctor, she is refusing to fill the only pain relief I have as old school Valium 20 mg is to much, and is addictive. Strange I’ve had to be off it for tests for 2 weeks with NO WITHDRAWAL or cravings. Just increased PAIN. I’ve had 11 other meds, all had HORRID reactions and ER trips. And are just as addictive as an Opioid. OA drugs RUINED my GASTRO track.

Well Your FIRED as you are useless. Just like I fired the Rheumatologist for ruining my GI track with his FDA approved drugs. BTW those OP drugs you want me to take, and send me to the ER, will kill very slowly and PAINFULLY.

You're right. The opiate epidemic is only on epidemic because the government manufactured it by including heroin ODs and intentional overdoses. The majority of pain patients do not abuse or become addicted to their pain meds.

I have to take 2mg of klonipin every night. I have a prescription for 45 5mg oxicodone that my insurance company won't pay for.

I have a seizure condition and have more seizures if I stop taking klonipin. I also seem to have a missing screw from a previous surgery.

So I give up klonipin and have more seizures or give up pain meds while we figure out what is going on with my back.
